Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K Expansion Cable
There are two ways to access the expansion port’s functions. You can use the expansion cable
that comes with your Micro Studio Camera 4K, or solder your own custom connectors.
The expansion cable provides connectors for the following control options.
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K expansion cable.
1 Power Input
The 12V power input connects via a DC jack and provides power to the Micro Studio
Camera 4K, as well as trickle charging any batteries attached. When mains power is
supplied, the camera will automatically turn on.
2 Reference Input
This allows multiple cameras to be genlocked to a blackburst or tri-level reference
signal. Genlocking cameras to an external reference signal helps to prevent timing errors
which may result in the picture jumping when switching between different cameras.
3 LANC
Connect wired LANC remote controllers to the 2.5mm jack for controlling functions like
zoom, iris adjustment, and focus from a tripod arm when using compatible lenses.
4 Pan Tilt Zoom
The RS-422 connector is used to relay pan tilt zoom commands received by
MicroStudio Camera 4K from its SDI input to a motorized head.
Refer to the ‘PTZ Control over SDI’ section for more information about PTZ control.
5 B4 Communication
The DB-9 connector allows you to power and control B4 broadcast lenses attached to
the Micro Studio Camera 4K via an MFT to B4 adapter. To control a compatible B4 lens,
simply connect the optional Digital B4 Control Adapter cable to the cable from the lens,
then connect the other end to the DB-9 serial connector on your expansion cable.
